    When you say you have fraud from welcome on your file, what do you mean? Is it a CIFAS marker? What does it say?

    I went for my acupuncture session. I also went into Barclays and got approved for current account with £750 overdraft limit plus Barclaycard.

    I paid off and closed my Capital One classic visa card a couple of months ago. It is now showing as settled on my credit files.

    I received a letter yesterday, with a credit agreement for the same card but with 0% on purchases until the 2nd day after the May 2009 statement.

    Same interest rate as before, but I am tempted due to the 0% offer.

    Shame they didn't offer me this before I closed the old card down. It would have been alot easier all round

    all I have on my credit file is 2 current accounts and a lot of searches and not on ER. Seems odd they'd want to give me a credit card with relatively high limit
